The effluent was characterized using the standard method (atomic absorption spectrometry) while the adsorbent was prepared, carbonated and characterized using SEM and FTIR. The SEM findings revealed a highly porous morphology. The FTIR revealed the presence of various functional groups (OH, CH, C=C and C-C). The findings of the batch adsorption experiment were fitted using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and Langmuir model gave a better fit. The kinetic data of iron (II) was evaluated using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models.

The results indicated that the methanol extract of P. harmala is a good inhibitor of carbon steel. The inhibition efficiency increases with the increase of the concentration of the inhibitor. The nature of adsorption of the extract on carbon steel surface was in conformity with Langmuir isotherm. Both kinetic and thermodynamic parameter of adsorption allows us to suggest chemical adsorption of this inhibitor on the metal. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements show that P. harmala acts as mixed type inhibitor. The result of EIS was correlating with the result of polarization measurement. A theoretical study was done in solution for major alkaloids isolated from P. harmala seeds, and was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) basis set level through the relationship between their molecular and electronic structure. The quantum chemical parameters such as E HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital energy), E LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy), energy gap (ΔE), dipole moment (μ), absolute hardness (η), absolute softness (S), the absolute electronegativity (χ), the fractions of electrons transferred from the inhibitor molecule to the metallic atom (ΔN) and the electrophilicity index (ω) were calculated.

The physico-chemical properties show that our bentonite indicates a very high alkalinity. The amplitude of swelling shows that this bentonite is very high is sensitive to water. The SEM shows petaloid-shaped aggregates of the grains in spherical form with heterogeneous dimensions. Various experimental parameters were analyzed; initial concentration of the dye, pH, mass of the adsorbent and temperature. Adsorption tests showed that the maximum duration of this cationic dye on bentonite is established after 80 minutes. Experimental results showed that the adsorption of the methylene blue dye on raw bentonite depends on the pH of the solution and the initial concentration of the dye. Although the amount of methylene blue adsorbed decreases with increasing temperature, this indicates that adsorption is an exothermic process. The adsorption capacity was determined using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich and Temkin isotherms. The binding of methylene blue follows Freundlich's law.","PeriodicalId":18768,"journal":{"name":"Moroccan Journal of Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48321745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
